Medical errors kill enough people to fill four jumbo jets a week. Author and surgeon Marty Makary writes about ways of making health care safer- he believes American hospitals need to be more transparent about their safety records and more accountable for the quality of their care. Dr. Makary, a surgeon at Johns Hopkins Hospital and a developer of the surgical checklists adopted by the World Health Organization, is the author of "Unaccountable: What Hospitals Won't Tell You and How Transparency Can Revolutionize Health Care," published this month by Bloomsbury Press.
